Advanced Life Support (ALS) Course is organized by Resuscitation Council (UK) and will be held from Jan 12 - 13, 2019 at East Anglian Air Ambulance, Norwich, England, United Kingdom.

The target audience for this medical event is healthcare professionals who would be expected to apply the skills taught as part of their clinical duties, or to teach them on a regular basis. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 10 continuing professional development (CPD) points.

Course Description
Appropriate participants include doctors, paramedics and nurses working in acute care areas (e.g. ED, CCU, ICU, HDU, operating theatres, acute medical admissions units) or on resuscitation /medical emergency/ICU outreach teams. All applicants must hold a professional healthcare qualification or be in training for a professional healthcare qualification. Medical students, nurses and other healthcare providers not covered in the groups above should be encouraged to complete the Immediate Life Support (ILS) course. Those with a particular interest in resuscitation should then consider attending an ALS provider course, where appropriate. Medical students in their final year of training can be accepted as candidates on an ALS course if this is an established local arrangement.

Course Objectives
• Recognise and treat the deteriorating patient using a structured ABCDE approach.
• Deliver standardised CPR in adults.
• Manage a cardiac arrest by working with a multidisciplinary team in an emergency situation.
• Utilise non-technical skills to facilitate strong team leadership and effective team membership.
